I’m going to be speaking in Rochester tomorrow about the use of statistical simulation in Common Core Algebra II. I think this is a deep topic that we are only beginning to understand. So far as I can tell, inferential statistics has never been taught in a standards system that clearly places simulation ahead of more formulaic approaches. Don’t get me wrong, I completely support the move for more experiential education in probability and statistics.… Read more »

Riemann Sum Visualizer on Desmos
Posted onSo, I’ve been doing a lot of work lately on Desmos and one thing I thought I’d try was to create Desmos graphs that helped teachers show students Riemann sums and how they converge for large numbers of partitions. It took a bit, but I think I’ve created some nice Desmos graphs for right, left, and midpoint Riemann sums. I’m embedding the code here for each. Just click on the graph and you will be… Read more »
